Lava in My Bones, The

"Webster has written a vast, exuberant and optimistic epic about the ebbs and flows of the lava-like oils that lubricate the world's engine, emphasizing the transformative power of love." --National Post

"The Lava in My Bones is, quite simply, a fabulous book ... "Magical," "compelling," "electric," complex, troubling, and contradictory, The Lava in My Bones is a book that I will read repeatedly throughout my life, illuminating crap times and hard knocks with the seismically wild, deeply relevant and earnest irreverence of it all." --Lambda Literary

"A joyous fairytale about familial dysfunction and our connection to Mother Earth. Webster writes halluncinatory prose with zany gusto ... This is an exhuberantly written novel." --Quill and Quire (STARRED REVIEW)
